LVCYFIRE INTERVIEW

1.- When speaking of the English bands, the first thing that comes to mind are great names of metal such as: CRADLE OF FILTH, ONSLAUGHT, SABBAT, GRIM REAPER. Then the heavy metal legends as: JUDAS PRIEST, BLACK SABBATH and IRON MAIDEN. All of them have leaving a great legacy into metal music. With all these names, what wants to give LUCIFYRE as sound and attitude as band to leave of legacy the future generations of metal? We never thought about next generation when we were creating. Our source is ancient so to be honest we feel like we are wakeing something primordial, awakening from long sleep the death and madness. Our goal on that case is to rise the Apocalypse, so there is no future. 2.-Speaking of bands, is difficult to find in the English metal scene BLACK/DEATH bands, it is not usual, LUCIFYRE is like a mole on top of a completely white body. Has it been difficult to create when playing find shows with bands of your style? How has been the response of the English media and the bangers for the sound of the band? With our style it is hard to not be alienated and to start with non of us is true English Man, we are all coming from different parts of the world, Poland, Portugal and Cyprus. So far we had very poor interest in here between the media and maniacs but things are seems to bee a little bit improving since our second offering "Sun Eater" is officially out. English scene never been so agressive since Adorior's "Author of Incest" but now i think we bring that to change and there is even more wrath behind it. 3.-The last great band I’ve heard and it is going by the style of LUCIFYRE band is ADORIOR (gods!). T. kAOS your being also member of this great Horde, What were your thoughts When you create LUCIFYRE? Do you think I am missing something in the creative part of ADORIOR that you want to carry out with LUCIFYRE? Wildness, Darkness and Wrath will be my unholy trio to ride Lvcifyre chariot. I want our music to be faster and as destructive as nuclear explosion wave. I could become what inside me for a while once i was riding under Adorior wings but there was a massive limits for me also since we had a problem to agree on songs structure riffs and arrangments so I dont think that there is anything to carry from Adorior , but it will be my style of playing that could bring similarity on mind.
4.- 3 members of the band belong to well known bands such as ADORIOR, NECROSADIST, ENTHRONED… How do you do with the rehearse times and live shows? Can LUCIFYRE be considered a parallel band? Im not involved anymore into Adorior ,last thing i did with them was show on Nuclear War Now to support Black Gods Blasphemy. Now Lvcifyre got all my focus. Menthor is very active with Enthroned so we share the drummer, as for Necrosadist at the moment it is more recording only band, there is no regular rehearsals on live activity, so no collision. 5.- In the creative and musical parts How do you do to try to create an own sound and does not have to sound similar to that or other bands of members of LUCIFYRE? LVCIFYRE is very solid monument that took his own path as a more organic/spiritual Consciousness that become to life once we channel with each other and few times we tried to design the sound for Lvcifyre but it was always rejected by His might and different path been choose, it is still follow our idea but in different textures ,more morbid and organic, the Living Death. 6.- The name of the band can be confused with LUCIFER. Do you have some questions such as those on the way by parts of bangers and media? Why did you choose this name? I feel more like this name choose us, its strike me with very strong impulse on one unexpected day, out of nowhere and i knew that this is it. Name starts haveing much more sens with time once we start to cultivate the power we raise. it is a Lucifer's Fire, Transcendental flame of black illumination, a formula of progress and gates into Dark Night of Soul. 7.-How often helped to the band to get a contract, the fact that the members belong to big names in the world death/black metal? I believe that it could be helpful if you play in the big band, but i believe that we manage to captured raw and dark atmosphere on "Dying Light of God" and Rodrigo got attracted by this and he offer us later on to release the full length which in the end had really poor promotion and we got not as much attention as we thought we will. Menthor played in Corpus Christi and i played in Adorior but they not a big names, this is still underground and Adorior had chance to play only very few shows, i mean people know the "Author of Incest" but thats when it starts and where its ends. Corpus Christi played lots of shows in the past but still non of this bands had big reputation like Blasphemy or Morbid Angel so Lvcifyre did not gain from our past but from our skills and visionary.
8-'DYING LIGHT OV GOD' their first EP, it was introduced in the underground circuit, this work is basically a death/black metal, dark and morbid work, how would you define it in a musical aspect waged speaking to previous works in his other bands? I will define exactly like you did Dark and Morbid work. There is something i really like about this EP , i can feel the purity of wrath, the young fire, the birth of devil child that now transform into monstrous might,the Proclamator of Black Messiah. So again i dont wont to ride on feedback from previous bands or extend their style to the next band, as for me they are nowhere near of Lvcifyre, dont get me wrong ,they are great band but very different.Black and Death Metal has same firmaments which is manifestation of our shadow emerged from our unconciousness. This specific sonic kind or style was created to praise Dark God/deities. I always was focusing and creating only within this style so i could not go for hard core crap like Decapitated or any other shit. We always learn and progress( some of us very slowly, they are waste) and i believe that through our journey we gain from situations that we were put on,so if i look back and compare my first true creation which Hodur- "Salve Satanas" to Adorior's "Author of Incest" you can hear similarity in way of playing a specially in Adorior's Iron Blood which almost entaierly belong to me. I think i learn something from Adorior so are they, now they could see a bit clearer what kind of playing fits them the best and i immerse under shadow of Lvcifyre. 9.-If you could to chose a track of this work to be known on this side of the world, would it be and why? Dying Light of God, why ,hm... Malign Cunt is showing more developed face of Lvcifyre style , so i will go reverse to return to morbid and primeval forms , the very uncontrolled ones,violent and evil. 10.-Listening to this work is basically DEATH/BLACK metal in the vein of the 90's with a fresh sound something like intermediate BEHEMOTH with the sound of bands such as DIABOLIC and SUMMON. I had the chance to read some reviews of the media and all of them calls to us like the new BEHEMOTH’s. Do you not have fear that they stereotype to the band or put them as a copy of that band? Would that they say to the media who thinks that band are followers of BEHEMOTH? Behemoth is massive band, mainstream Death Black Metal if you could say that, I'm not a follower of the band.Perhaps is the region where I and Nergal grow up, we are coming from the same city and i know him for years, maybe there is something in the water, something that i cannot hear, for me Lvcifyre is nowhere near Behemoth, but I'm not the one to judge.People need to classify, it's easier for them ,otherwise they will have to work out something new and to be honest so many been done. We are constantly compare to Morbid Angel,Immolation,early Vader and Behemoth, but that's not a problem thought. 11.-'THE CALLING DEPTHS', the last work does not change much of your first work. The music goes along the same way, with some improvements in composition doing a job more complete and complex. Tell us about this work in composition? Which were the influences?. How did you start this work in composition? When i meet Menthor we start working on this hard from the very begininng ,lots of rehearsals, few times a week.We were just keep writing lots of materials ,then we choose the best parts and start focusing on those.I dont remember if any bands were our inspiration i mean i love and respect true Death and Black Metal, but i dont think that there was any copy of whatever been done in past by other. We just been natural and honest.That i think is the best reciepie for any music. 12-Let's talk of something of your lyrics, with some suggestive titles like 'THE CALLING DEPTHS', SUCCUBI, is not difficult to think of a knowledge of dark literature as H.P LOVECRAFT, EDGAR ALLAN POE, etc... for inspiration to time of compose the lyrics, there’s a pre-work of literature or failing there are horror films? Or is something natural of morbid minds and insanity? What so important is ideological and defined path and with extensive knowledge of the black arts? Everything that express Darkness or shadow within get my antention , I think what is important is awakening and accaptance of Darkness within us , not castrating and running away.I admire LHP by Kenneth Grant, i think what he did for this path without patholgy or "grey evil" is truly inspiring. Of course Lovecraft is also the one i will own forever for knowledge he offer to us. Lvcifyre become a platform to me where i could present my experiences in that specific subjects and i think that everyone could see this differently since spiritual path is very private thing.
13.-Demonology is a thematic usually for you. I say that , for the case of track title ‘SUCCUBI’. The band members are followers or belong to some Satanic sect? Not to my knowledge. 14.-BLOOD HARVEST RECORDS, is a label that lately this launching some great hordes of black/death metal, example has ATOMIC CURSE and MASTER OF CRUELTY among others. How Did you contract with them? What was the main difficult dealings with the record label? There was not difficulties from Blood Harvest,Rodrigo did his job exactly as we agreed. Pulverized release CD with massive delay, that was more of concern to us by then. 15.-Your first Lp came out 2 years ago, What news we have in terms of new tracks and musical composition work, knowing that LUCIFYRE is a very technical band. What news additions are using on the tracks? We rehearse a lot,so our style progress ,become more focused and darker, probably less technical on guitar but more demanding on other instruments and vocals. Fruit of that work could be heard on our new album "Sun Eater". 16.-Speaking of music technic, Many people think that the majority of musicians of this genre do not have knowledge about it. For my taste the metal music, progressive and jazz, Is the trident of the music, with great talented musicians in the musical spectrum. Speaking as musicians, What kind of musical studies have you had? I never study music only the sound engineering for while but Menthor ,our drummer study music on full time and he got totally absorbed by Jazz and classical. 17.-A questions in the context of metal but out of the context of the band. What do you think about of a course of heavy metal that gives a University of England? What are your impressions about it? The movment in 80's was one of most important within the genre in UK but non of this were my favorite bands so it means nothing to me. I'm more into what happen later when Thrash,Black and Death Metal become to life. 18- If someone wants to go for first time to your show. What can expect from this? Intense and wrathful sonic waves of black boiling lava. 19.-Thank you for your participation in this EVIL zine. Do you want to leave some message to the dark music lovers?

HERE SOME VIEWS FROM THE PRINTED VERSION........................

VLAD INTERVIEW

This is one of the most promising new bands of the new wave of PERUVIAN BLACK METAL (Better I would to say from Lima) that has been slashing the scene with its powerful black/death metal, very bloody and much explosive. The band members had played before in other bands of very different styles such as the doom/death metal and death/grind in its basic sound. All this mixture had been made to VLAD one band that is proving compact presentation to the presentation. Being it is one of the favorite bands of the scene. After listening alive I decided it was time to make them an interview with which left to the delight of the fans of the true black/death metal…. 1. -The band has progressed very fast to launch productions each year, What do you have in their minds that makes them so creative and prolifics? V: Well, We are trying to unleash and translate everything content through the years in our morbid minds, and thus give to eat to the beast called VLAD. Each material that we put out, it have represent and capture the exact moment of the band, so, we still have a lot more by listening to Vlad ! 2. -the band started in 2004 but recently in 2009 they launched their first production. What happened in these 5 years of difference? V: of course, As any band it has had some any members changes, and that makes the sound and the horizon to be modified by moments, until you find a way defined, And the band was not alien to that, let's say that were years of searching for suitable members and authenticate the sound that characterizes the band, in spite of this, in 2008 is published in a demo cd-r format called 'Warrior of Death' that was spread to some distros and labels only, which was launched in 2009, was the re-edition of that demo through Pentagram records and can be use with the same name. 3. -FRANCO comes from CONTUMACY and Bernie from CADAVER INCUBATOR and EN LAS ESPESAS NIEBLAS, DEATH was vocalist from BLACK ANGEL, How did they have done to bring together both as a band, having played in bands as diverse genres that goes from the doom to death to gore, and conventional death metal to black metal? V: having gone through some bands and different styles makes you have another way of seeing things and say that we take this as an advantage, as well know what steps to take and have better aimed at the beast VLAD, we do not due to one or another influence for us everything influences directly or indirectly, but we try that VLAD has its own style and that pointed out, the path has been already mapped out as well as the objectives, so here we are in the fight. 4.- How often has gained the band with this previous experiences? V: How I was telling to you in the previous answer, we take that as an advantage, and extract profit of all previous experiences. So, We cannot committed the same errors of the begins and We have a better vision on the way, it turns out to be reflected so much in the compositions that are fluid enough as well as in the performance in alive. 5.- How have the band evolved from the 'WARRIOR OF DEATH' demo 2009 demo to the PERUVIANS BULLETS ATTACK' Lp 2012? V: I don't like much use it word 'evolution', so if you would I say is that the band has learned a lot in those years, both in support and vision of band, and that learning is and is it will see reflected on the next albums, since there is still a long way to go, and VLAD is not only a bird of passage in this hell, so I will continue learning and reflecting in each step. 6-talking about this work, it was out by the Peruvian record label 'WAR CHAOS', how was released that contract deal? How many productions have signed? What opportunities for improving the sound of recording gave them? V: The Pact with War Chaos Music was only for one full length. The new Ep will be out through of another record label, and the next full length also will be released by another record label. The recording was made in the same Studio where we recorded the two demos before, so he did in the best possible way and with all the facilities of the case, but of course, we always try to looking for not so much the best production or sound more clean, perfect or things like those, but reflect what you do at that time and it is more transparent and honest as possible, and in that aspect, at the sound of the album we believe that he was accomplished.
7.-Talk us about this infernal opus called 'PERUVIANS BULLETS ATTACK'? Is a tribute to this rotten scene? V: The album name represents much the vision of band we have, it is an armor weapon of mass destruction being loaded and attacking in each part when is launched, and in that context, course is a sort of tribute or in any case show the world this side of the world and it follows the post left by big bands as HADEZ, MORTEM or KRANIUM, and therefore also the cover to KRANIUM that appear on the album. 8. Before of this Opus has been released 'FUCKING IN THE HELL' the same year in a single EP... Why did you release before the full length? It was made as an advancement of the LP? V: Yes, We had came the tour by Ecuador and Bolivia and the album still not was out for “X” reasons, so we launched the second demo ' Fucking in the Hell' with some tracks of the album as a sort of advance CD, and in the first instance, it was only released for the tour, but already at the end of the 2012 was re-released in around the world, and has already reached several places such as: Italy, USA, Brazil, Germany, Thailand, Canada and some South American countries. 9-'CONDENADOS AL INFIERNO' is a Split tape with the Ecuadorian band 'INFERNAL CEMETERY', it has been released in a format of worship... the sound of the band approached the band wanted to capture... knowing that this format has better bass? V: We agreed that split during our first visit to Ecuador in 2010, and launched it in 2011, and say that if the sound which wanted to achieve at that time, the mixture was here in Lima and then send the tracks to Ecuador to launch the Split. 200 Copies were only, so the stock is less and less now.
10. -‘FUCKING IN THE HELL’ was released in 2012 in Ep format,it was made as a advancement of what would be the first full lenght of the band? What differences we found there that didn't get in the 'PERUVIANS BULLETS ATTACK'? V: The demo 'FUCKING IN THE HELL' contains tracks that are on the CD, and was released just to promote these tracks before the output of the CD, how I said you before, it was originally released for the tour in Ecuador and Bolivia, only 100 copies, but newly this year was in the form massive and until now is still watering by the world, some items are pre-mixes while others are the same of the CD. 11.-talking about ‘PERUVIAN BULLETS ATTACK', How did you get the contact with the record label WARCHAOS…Did you have signed for only one work? V: Well, the record was released by War Chaos Music, owned by Juan Carlos front man of RITUAL band, comrade of some years, and it was he who raised to us the proposal to release the full length, after listening to the demos earlier .... We thought it was time to release a full lenght, so we went to work and we began to abort the tracks of the CD. The deal was done for only one CD, The new Ep will be released for another record label, but do not rule out the idea of returning to work with War Chaos music. 12. -the proposal of this work is to sound demonic but at the same time death metal too. The tracks are made to a greater extent to the occult death metal, something as well as the Peruvian SADISTIC INTENT, Are you agree with this point of view? V: Well, firstly thank you for your words, that comparison is very flattering, is a great band that influence indirectly as many others as well. When composing mixed many things and we are trying to not sound to this or that band, and we trotted out a style of its own that is identifiable with the band, but the whole of bands and styles that one previously has been listening to be reflects directly or indirect in our music, we makes riffs that can be sounding death or thrash metal but in general we try to do more deeper and darker, we do not a place to happy sounds or indulgent riffs. 13.- Talk us about to their first full length in regard to the work of the structure of the tracks? Do you think is a more technical work that the previous works? The experience of his first works to what is the sound of the band now changed a lot in your point of view? V : The composition of the tracks was very smooth in reality , with some pressure at the time of delivery, but manageable, as to whether it is more technical than the previous work, it could be, but in general we did the more compact as possible so we can do the same thing in the rituals alive, and that people did not listen on a CD the tracks fully arranged, refined , having a lot of virtuosity for which then is heard live in completely different ... fuck off !!........ Let us remember that alive only used a guitar (and we'll be using only a guitar ) and therefore in the composition of the tracks we think of that for that after not being heard Limited alive.
14. –Personally about the CD sound I don't like very much the mixture, it does not sound very clear ... Was this done to sound a little more like the 80's? Don´t think that miss it a sound engineer? V: As you said in the previous questions, in the final mix, we try to make it as natural as possible, without using many arrangements or audio that sounds too clean, in order that live sound as similar as possible in some concerts in which the sound or the premises were not pay too much to what one seeks. Nothing was more than sound as natural as possible, even in the effect of voice or bass or guitar. 15.- In my point of view, the band sounds better alive. The band operates best alive. It seems that they like to be in front ... as soon as public. How many time and How do you are preparing for their attacks? V: In spite of the fact that by our decision, We did not playing alive too. When we are playing alive, we give all of us live each riff or redouble that we touch, we believe everything we say, and we try to convey that to the comrades who attend the rituals that we give, it is reciprocal, since they realize that and we transmit their energy and their support also, it is like an orgasm ... 16. -VLAD is a band that is slowly has moving across boundaries. The band has played in some neighboring countries. How were the reception by the audience to VLAD sounds, Specifically? What is the difference to the public with what you're accustomed to in Peru? V: We had the opportunity to leave our borders and was very auspicious and imparts to us, I could tell you many things and talk about wonders of that, but the videos don't lie, and the response of the comrades of neighboring countries was more than encouraging, people realize when you live what you play and there is no posturing, and therefore his real support, behold the secret ....... if I had to notice the difference between public, since it would be that you can't find out that vibrates refusal which is sometimes here by some failed or resentful that they have never done anything for his life and still criticize those who if they do ... and if there are out. At least we have not found yet, and we are not interested in doing so also.
17. -What new tracks do you have in mind? Already have in the process some tracks? Can you give Us an advance? V: Well, we've finished recording 4 tracks previously unreleased tracks for an ep. Which must be launched at the end of the year or beginning of 2014, and that will be by title : 'awakening of the morbid Goat' ... ... are 2 tracks in spanish and 2 in english ..... we are separate in composition of some tracks that will be part of a split for the next year and a further split by confirm ..... So, it seems that the second full length will take a little..hahaha ....... We are at war and as I repeat to you. Even you can see a lot more of VLAD !!!!!!!! 18.-thank you for your time... the band really is good, with a sound 80's led to the present day, a black/death metal without much modernism... What Do you want to say to the legion of mutant bangers in the world? V: first of all thank you RAFO by your words, for the support and space in your fanzine, and good to just say to the comrades who read these pages, which are maintained on war footing ever support bands who like, get your material and few real concerts which are made in every part of the world... say that VLAD came here to stay and make the black metal that is made to attend in this corner of the planet, yet continue to knowing more we are...
